Here is another chart I have just completed. I was searching for an easy way (no online tool) to determine the amount of water for a specific wort dilution. This is useful when you are cooling your wort with e.g. several 1-liter ice blocks. Enjoy, JF

I hope you find it useful

Brewing Process for a newcomer. 1 Infusion temperature. Maybe you find my chart useful.

I have a controlled temperature box I built but it is not huge, 2 fermenters at a time ( in fact a home-made split box with capability for 2x at 20degC and 4x at 6degC simultaneously). Space is getting scarce because I am also conditioning my bottles in the box. I would like to have only my...

Just as a follow up. OG was 1.103 SG after 5 days primary was 1.017 Giving estimated 11.2% ABV Transferred to secondary after the 5 days of primary. In the mean time, I have built a fermentation chamber (5feet long box fed by a fridge) and I store my secondary at 14°C (57°F). Will keep it...

Indeed. I started to read a bit more on the fermentation process for high beers, and it seems that I am quite off. Thanks for highlighting this before it is too late! From what I gather, I would think of doing this: - 10 days primary at 22C (72F) - 6 weeks secondary at 10C (52F) I have read...

About the water again. .. "L’eau, matière première extrêmement importante en quantité et en qualité, provient directement de la source de la Tridaine. Cette source est alimentée par la nappe phréatique située à proximité de l’abbaye. Aucun traitement chimique, physique ou autre...

Teromous, I feel the same way

Thanks Denny for the feedback. I haven't found any Rochefort10 recipe that I really believed in, so I merged some related recipes I have seen. Mind giving me your opinion on my recipe? ROCHEFORT 10 JFD Belgian Dark Strong Ale Type: All Grain Date: 09/08/2013 Batch Size (fermenter)...

I want to make a great brew out of this one. I have the possibility to drive 3-4 hours to get to the water source where the Abbaye is getting the water of this world class beer. Is it a silly thing to do, knowing that I do not have their yeast? I will use the belgian Abbey II instead...
